Owing to the similarity in pronunciation and in the ancient form of Ayin ( ') and Aleph ('). these letters were interchanged. The Massorah contains lists of words where Aleph (= ') stands for Ayin (= ') and vice versa (see Ginsburg's Massorah, letter, vol. i, p. 57, 514; and letter, vol. ii, p. 390, 352, 360, &c).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 7:3

"They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies."The king and the princes, who should have been the leaders of the nation were, instead, wholehearted participants in the evil ways of the people. Corruption had reached the highest level of their society, and the total and complete ruin of the nation had occurred. This is certainly th meaning of the passage, despite the several ways that the scholars render this verse. As Mauchline suggested:"The text here is very... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 7:4

"They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it be leavened."This message of the heated oven is to be understood in the sense of a banked fire, ready to flare up at any time. The ovens of Hosea's times were bell-shaped adobe furnaces in which fires were built; when they were ready to be used, the fire was taken out and the hot interior was used for baking. A fire left in the oven for a long period, such as... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 7:5

"On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers."Again, the text here is uncertain; but the broad meaning is clear enough. On some festival day, perhaps the king's birthday, or some other notable occasion, even the princes of the realm drank themselves into a state of insensibility; and the king himself "stretched out his hand with scoffers." Here are a few of the ways in which translators have rendered this clause:He joins... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 7:6

"For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all night; in the morning, it burneth as a flaming fire."The fires of their evil passions never went out. When not actually engaged in the commission of some crime, they were still like a smoldering oven, ready to flame into action at the slightest provocation. A number of modern commentators find a direct reference here to a specific intrigue leading to the overthrow of one of the various murdered... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 7:7

"They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me."This is the third usage of the oven metaphor, as follows: (1) They are like the banked fire ready to flare up at the slightest chance, Hosea 7:4. (2) They were an oven fire, waiting while preparations are being completed, using the occasion to plan new evil, Hosea 7:6. (3) They "are hot as an oven"; their evil passions are a vicious, burning lust. Commenting on this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 7:4

Hosea 7:4. They are all adulterers— In this and the following verses, Hosea makes a twofold comparison of the Israelites to an oven, and to dough. Jeroboam the son of Nebat set fire to his own oven, and put the leaven in his dough; and afterwards went to sleep; leaving an opportunity to the fire to heat his oven, and the leaven to raise his dough. This prince, determining to make his subjects relinquish their ancient religion, set fire in some measure to his oven, and mixed his dough with... read more
